Effects of single-space feeder design on feeding behaviour and performance of growing pigs

Extract
Various types of computerised feed intake recording systems are used by research centres and breeding companies to monitor the individual food intake of pigs kept in groups. Most are single-spaced, allowing only one animal to feed at any one time, and they differ mainly in the design of the entrance and the level of protection offered to the feeding pig. The aim of the present experiment was to investigate the effect of single-space feeder entrance design on the performance and feeding behaviour of growing pigs by using designs offering three levels of protection.
